What it isThis is a four-year program that combines an honours degree in one subject (like English, French, History, or Visual Arts) with teacher training for grades 7 through 12. Unlike a regular honours degree followed by separate teacher certification, you study both your subject and education courses together from the start, so you graduate ready to teach. It suits people who know they want to teach a specific subject at the high school level and want to earn their teaching qualification without extra study later.In this program, you study French language and literature while completing teacher training at the same time, earning both an Arts degree and a teaching credential in four years. Unlike a regular Arts degree followed by a separate teacher's program, you integrate education courses throughout, so you graduate ready to teach French in Ontario schools. It suits students who know they want to teach French and want to combine academic depth in the language with practical classroom skills from the start.Arts and Humanities programs at Western let you study literature, history, languages, creative work, and visual art — subjects focused on human culture and expression rather than science or business. You can pursue a general BA, combine business with arts, earn a specialized BFA in fine art, or complete a shorter certificate or diploma. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements related to your field. This suits people drawn to writing, analysis, visual creativity, or understanding how societies and cultures work.
